QUICK HITS
Field-level observations- The Rams spent a lot of time in today’s practice working on offense-only and defense-only drills. For receivers, tight ends, and quarterbacks, Thursday’s session included another set of ball protection drills — a part of practice that is quickly becoming a familiar trend. On the opposite end of the field, the defense worked heavily on stripping the ball and pass deflections.
- In the team’s 11-on-11 work, quarterback Jared Goff hit wide receiver Robert Woods on a downfield pass for a touchdown. Goff also completed a few midrange passes to wide receiver Sammy Watkins, giving fans a preview for what they will see on Saturday.
- Cornerback Dominique Hatfield recorded his third interception in the last three days when he picked off a short pass from Dan Orlovsky.
- On the offensive line, Jamon Brown and Rob Havenstein continued to take reps at right guard and right tackle, respectively. McVay said after practice that although the line is “a constant work in progress,” the two would continue on in these positions heading into the regular season.
- Cornerbacks Mike Jordan, Kayvon Webster, and Nickell Robey-Coleman were held out of the last day of training camp. Linebacker Mark Barron also did not participate.
